How it works
Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet is an antibiotic. It has two active agents, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas, clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

It is also important to check with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. After your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, the doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for reevaluation.
Can I stop giving Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Hence, continue giving the medicine for the due course as it may still be showing beneficial effects.
Can the use of Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxtair CV 200mg/28.5mg Tablet can sometimes cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medicine may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child’s stomach and cause diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Talk to your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration, like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics in viral infection can increase your child’s risk of developing side effects. So, use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child’s doctor right away if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and need an expert's attention.
